New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Juanmi
Well after getting my arm twisted just a bit, I joined in on the new signings fun. I present to you Juanmi. Is he really deserving of an article and with picture included all on his own? Probably not, but this is due more to my laziness than Juanmi’s talent. Besides I have to go colour in some trackers and what not. So here you go fantasy fans, we present the giant Juanmi.

Age: 22
Position: Striker-ish

[/three_fourth]Juan Miguel Jiménez López also known as Juanmi is a 22 year old who has just joined Southampton. He said his life long dream was to play for a big club when he signed with the Saints, hmmm, guess that is still a goal not yet accomplished. Juanmi scored 8 goals last season in La Liga with Malaga and got his first senior squad call up in March for Spain. There is a lot of things to like about this young Spanish international. He goes by one name, he is Spanish and he is small. We all know that the only good Spanish players are small, so he can’t be all that bad. It remains to be seen where he will be played by Koeman. Striker seems to be his preferred position, however he can play all along the front line if needed. Also will be interesting if the rigours of playing in the EPL will make it tough on him to adjust quickly and show some of his best qualities. Expect to see a pacy player with good movement off the ball. Surprisingly good in the air, but one could argue that his headed goals are due more to his movement than the ability to outmuscle or out jump any Shawcrosses.
Fantasy outlook: A wait and see option. At some point this season he will be given a chance to prove himself. You know Shane Long will be out with some sort of injury, probably his wrist tape being too tight or something will put him out several weeks. J-Rod is coming back from a devastating injury and Pelle has been mentioned among those who suffered from one of the worst droughts ever recorded in history. At only 6.0 if he is given a chance maybe he can be a J-Rod type from two seasons ago and prove to be good value.

Many thanks Mito, short but sweet. The article that is, not you. Won’t be touching this guy at all!
Cheers Mito.
I suspect if Robin Williams were still alive he’d have this guy in his team!
I will jump on the bandwagon , cheers for the very short article Mito :shiftyeyes:
Cheers Mito. He’s one to keep an eye on.
Everton have just reject £20m bid for Stones from chelsea.
Morning guys,
thanks for this Mito, think i’ll leave this guy.
I thought i’d chuck my draft out to get some opinions, if you’d be so kind..
many thanks
Morning photek. Really not sure what to make of this team mate, i like it and i don’t! All things Villa worry me now they’ve lost Tekkers . 4th/5th mid’s may not bring much points at all. WHU also worry me. I don’t fancy them at all this season and they struggled at home to Birkirkarkeraukurano or whatever the hell they’re called.
I have to disagree NIN I thk WHU will be a lot better under Bilic he is a very good manager he has bought in some good players Ogbonna very good def & Payet to provide the crosses for Val & Sako thk they will be ok
I’ll be very surprised if Bilic lasts a full season managing in the Premier League. Very surprised indeed.
Think he’s perfect for the EPL, it’s already full of nutters.
I think Schneiderlin and Cleverly are an overpriced duo to have as the fourth and fifth midfield spot combo, both come in at 5.5 and neither have the greatest of records in goals and assists, I can’t see either of them winning set piece duties for their prospective clubs now so I’d possibly avoid both.
Any suggestions who else to have instead?
Mahrez & Ki
I haven’t got that far yet mate, you could be looking at possible rotation options/set piece takers, I don’t think I’ll be spending more than 5.0 on my fifth mid though as he’ll more than likely be bench fodder that only comes on for special occasions, at the minute I’ve just got my core players. (Wally/Yaya/Fab).
Cheers guys, i’ll have another play around and check back with you all
Thanks for the thoughts guys.
I think Sakho is a better option up front in the budget range as West Ham showed last season they can hold their own and score goals.
Richards is interchangable with Ward and Mings but i see what your saying Nin, it is Villa lol!
Valid points with my 2 mids Andy although i think Cleverley can do alright at Everton
